I love an easy to make Christmas treat! Honestly these are great year round! You can change out the colors of the M&Ms to fit different themes – pink for Valentines Day, Red/blue for 4th of July, Orange/purple for Halloween etc! These are so easy that if you have little helpers in your house, they can actually help!
I simply used these ingredients – square pretzels, M&Ms, Hershey’s Hugs. I also used wax paper on cookie sheets.
First step is to line your wax paper cookie sheet with your square pretzels. My cookie sheet held 108 – LOST fans what up! Haha.
Then take your unwrapped hugs and place one hug in the middle of each pretzel. This took over 1 bag of hugs, one bag was about 70 hugs.
Next you’ll put this pan in your oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 4-5 minutes. I have the most success at 5 minutes. Then once your timer goes off you’ll place an M&M in the middle of each hug.
From here, once my pan had cooled enough to touch with my fingers I placed it in my fridge to complete the cooling/hardening process so I could bag them up!
